Indexes

Sysand defaults to using the index beta.sysand.org but it is possible to specify additional indexes or override this default index.

URLs for additional indexes can be specified with the command line argument --index. Multiple indexes can be given by invoking the argument multiple times, or by passing a comma separated list of URLs. The corresponding environment variable is SYSAND_INDEX and also accepts comma separated lists of URLs.

Indexes specified with command line arguments or environment variables are prioritized when resolving dependencies but do not override indexes defined in configuration files.

The command line argument --default-index (and environment variable SYSAND_DEFAULT_INDEX) functions the same as --index but will override the default index https://beta.sysand.org and any default indexes defined in configuration files.

Defining an index in a configuration file

To add an index with the URL https://example.index.org simple add the following entry to your sysand.toml:

[index]
url = "https://example.index.org"

To override the default index add default = true:

[index]
url = "https://example.index.org"
default = true

Indexes are prioritized in the order they are given, with default indexes always having lower priority compared to regular indexes.
